Easy Fruit Salad with Orange Poppy Seed Dressing

I found a recipe for an easy fruit salad with orange poppy seed dressing on Damn Delicious recently and decided to give it a try. My family hasn’t been eating as much fruit as we should lately, so I was hoping this fruit salad would help and be a nice side dish for a recent dinner. The local berries were sweet & tasty on their own, but combined with tart kiwi slices, fresh mint, and an orange poppy seed dressing created an extra special fruit salad. This easy fruit salad recipe was a big hit and paired nicely with grilled chicken skewers and potato salad.
